Pumpkin Thanksgiving

Thanks for all the comments and pep talks from yesterday's post. Today was a better day. Jack didn't sleep much but he talked to me a lot. Always with a big smile on his face. Those are the rewards of babies. I am so blessed!

Last week I had the Papercrafters group in the studio for some card making fun. This is one of the cards I made for a sample.

The round pumpkin is made from 3 circles punched in Pumpkin Pie with the 1 3/8" circle punch and the small oval punch (which has been discontinued, sorry). The tall pumpkin is made from 3 ovals punched from Tangerine Tango with the large oval punch. I have sponged the edges with the same color inks. The stems are cut from scraps of Handsome Hunter (also discontinued) and the vines with the Big Shot and the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlit die.

The background piece is Very Vanilla embossed with my favorite Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The beautiful sentiment (I wish I could write like that) is stamped with Handsome Hunter on a scrap of Vanilla. I used Handsome Huter as a mat and card base.

This next card was made from some ovals and circles that were left on the table.

This time I used Chocolate Chip for the stems and sentiment. The "ground" was sponged with Crumb Cake and overstamped in Old Olive with the filigree from the Vintage Vogue set.

I used my new Simply Scored to make a border around the sentiment. All this is on a Naturals White card base.

Here are some pictures of some of the activity that day.

This is a great group of ladies and I love getting together with them. They always manage to inspire me.
